Mick,

I did not realize that you had changed wheels. When did you do that? What size tires are on the rear? Poopon looks great!

I changed the wheels in 2005 (kept all the original stuff).  All 4 are 15X8 American Eagle 211's.  The tires are all the same size also P245/60R-15 BFG T/A Radials.  Didn't need any spacers.  I wanted Crager SS's, but I would of had to use spacers and didn't want to mess with that.  All 4 mags cost $576 and the tires were $280..........not a bad deal. Wink  Thanks for the compliment. Big%20smile
 
Mark - No JOKE..........no one brought one! Wink  I looked for one.  Most of the cars were C5's and C6's. Wits%20End  I didn't even think of driving the C5.

Ya Mick I didn't even look at the pictures with the C5/6's, they really don't interest me Wink  But I couldn't keep my eyes off that beautiful Golden Shark there.  I too noticed the new wheels though, lookin' sharp.
